PowerBI <> PowerAutomate - how to disable click of Power Automate button after click

Hello,

 

I have PowerBI Pro - this limits the dataset refresh to 8 times in a day.

My PowerBI report have flows connected to Power Automate to take certain actions. 

I don't want the user to click the same flow twice - is there a way to make the Power Button grey after click? I could find that option in a normal button on PowerBI but not on Power Automate

The button text/background should change or it should be un-clickable once already clicked.

Hi, @meenalrluktuke 

To set a button in Power Automate to only allow users to click it once, you can try the following steps:
1. Open Power Automate and create a new automation process.
2. Design your process so that when the user clicks the button, you first check a variable to determine whether the button was clicked.
3. Add an action to initialize the variable in the process, set this variable (for example, IsButtonClicked) and set the initial value to "false".
4. Add your Power BI trigger.
5. Add a "condition" after the Power BI trigger to check whether the variable is "false". If it is "false", the process continues; if it is true, the process ends.
6. After the condition is "false", add one or more tasks that perform your desired tasks.
7. After these tasks are executed, add a "Set Variable" action to set the value of IsButtonClicked to "true". This way, the user cannot click the button again.
8. Complete the process design and save it.
